At the rear of the cottage, double french doors lead to the newly fitted kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is very well equipped with 4 ring gas burning hob, grill and oven. The matching kitchenwares include toaster, microwave, kettle and tea and coffee pots. Plus there's also washing machine for guests staying for longer holidays. The open plan dining room boasts views over the garden and to the field beyond. The hallway leads through to the lounge, with inglenook fireplace and an electric 'log burning stove' effect fire.

Brian and Gwen were very welcoming and were available if we needed them. The cottage was well maintained and fitted out. Much Wenlock was a lovely little town with a pubs and restaurants to eat in - many more coffee shops in the day. Very handy for visiting many of the sites in that area.
